I have such a craving for these kinda games. I think they really captivated the adventure "cinematic, if you will" genre perfectly without being overcumbersome to the point of losing its purpose.
They were great little adventures that you could enjoy again, and again, and they never really get old, cause they are hard to learn, but once mastered they are still fun to beat from time to time, cause you can fly through them once you know how, did I also mention fun?
In this day, and age of complicated adventures that take 20+ hours to beat, and only last once, cause you can't just easily access them is kinda sad. Where are these little choose your own adventure/simple interface adventure games that I can play again and again?
To me these games were the future of gaming. When did EVERYTHING adventure get so dang complicated?!
Edit:
I had to edit my post to remove the title "action/adventure", cause action games have pretty much remained action games. Adventure games are the ones that have gotten saturated with me too, complicated structure. To be simple, I don't feel that a game has to be titled "action." Of course the word "simple" is objective.
